Oregon based novelist Leni Zumas is set to hit the big time with her new novel, Red Clocks, released March 8 with The Borough Press.

Following in the footsteps of Margaret Atwood's classic The Handmaid's Tale and Naomi Alderman's The Power, which won the Women's Prize for Fiction this year, it's a feminist dystopian novel which tackles the themes of fertility, motherhood and politics, and is set in a near future where reproductive rights have been revoked. Man Booker shortlisted novelist Emily Fridlund described the book as 'not only timely but necessary fiction - uncannily prescient, unabashedly political, and fiercely humane'.
